Worth over £94 billion, our life sciences sector plays a vital role in growing our economy. And due to our reforms, more aspiring laboratory scientists can reach their potential via apprenticeships. Thank you to the apprentices at @TeessideUni for showing me around. #NAW2024
Ah, yes, nothing says 'aspiring laboratory scientist' quite like being shown around a university by a politician who's probably never pipetted a single sample in their life. But hey, at least they're giving us a glimpse into a world where billionaires applaud themselves for boosting the economy while offering scraps to those at the bottom. Keep reaching for the stars, aspiring scientists, just know that your potential is as limitless as the funding for actual scientific research. 🧪💰 #LabRatsAndPoliticians #ApprenticeshipRealities
@GillianKeegan @TeessideUni Shame your Brexit meant the loss of thousands of jobs in this sector and our scientists are restricted from working with international partners.
@GillianKeegan @TeessideUni Afternoon @GillianKeegan care to update us all on the schools featured on panorama recently ? We are still waiting from a response from you have the children got heating & warm class rooms yet ?
@GillianKeegan @TeessideUni Presumably you're banging this apprentice drum because many actual Universities are in deep financial trouble? 🤔 And you're not capable of fixing that!
@GillianKeegan @TeessideUni Your dangling hair in that lab gives me concern over their safely measures. 🤷🏻♀️
@GillianKeegan @TeessideUni So that’s just 4 apprenticeship degrees available for science in the whole of the north west. Just saying!
@GillianKeegan @TeessideUni £94,000,000,000? That's very nearly 14 years of Tory waste worth.
@GillianKeegan @TeessideUni What about European collaborations no longer happening?
@GillianKeegan @TeessideUni bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Fucking good job Gillian
